Who is Aidan Maese Czeropski? Senate staffer allegedly caught filming in hearing room, video controversy erupts online

Aidan Maese Czeropski, who works as a legislative aide for Democratic Maryland Senator, Ben Cardin, was recently accused of filming an indecent video inside the Senate hearing room.

On Friday, December 15, a video obtained by Daily Caller showed an alleged congressional staffer having intercourse with an unknown man in the Senate hearing room. Daily Caller, citing a source, confirmed that the room where the explicit video was documented was Senate Room Hart 216 - The Judiciary Room.

The outlet did not immediately confirm the identity of the men in the video. However, in a post on X (formerly Twitter) the U.S. representative for Georgia's 10th congressional district, Mike Collins, alleged the person was a staffer of Senator Ben Cardin.

The staffer, Aidan Maese-Czeropski, reportedly also confronted Jewish Republican Ohio Rep. Max Miller this week over his support for Israel.

While Sen. Ben Cardin’s officers have yet to respond to the recent allegations against his staffer, on Friday, Cardin’s office denied that Czeropski was involved in a confrontation with Ohio Rep. Miller.

When the Daily Caller contacted Cardin’s office about the same, they reportedly replied:

“Are you sure you have the correct person? Having seen press reports, I understood this was a House staffer. Also, the person you mention is much more junior than an LD, so perhaps there was a mix-up in identification, as well? Additional information would be of help.”

Czeropski acknowledged that while some his past actions showed poor judgement, he was not involved in filming the indecent video at the senate building.
